I donât see anything which says open the browser. Katalon wonât be able to guess what is the website address and there that element is?
Let me know if I am missing something.
Test Case should start like this in a happy scenario 
WebUI.openBrowser(âwww.google.comâ) /* This will tell Katalon to Open the browser and go to Google.com
I want to start at certain web page (URL) and I chose the active browser (fire fox). so I think there is no need to have open browser
@ahmed.saleh Where in Katalon Studio you are mentioning the certain web page (URL) ?
Every time Katalon executes a test case it starts a new session in the browser of your choice even if the there is an active session of that browser is running on your computer.
For e.g I have Google Chrome running all the time but when I execute a test case in Katalon it starts another Google Chrome session without disturbing my current session.
Thanks a lot Manpreet,
My problem my test case always fails at the login
Here is my case
and here is my browser at the failed step
From the Katalon Studio, it looks like it is not able to found the Search Bar where you are entering the Search term because the AUT didnât allow you to log in.
Are you able to log in manually using the same Username and Password used in this script?
Katalon will only be successful in Step 6 if Step 5 has actually passed, But in this case, login didnât go through.
Manpreet,
My test case ran successfully if I put my password without encryption as text as shown here, but this is a risky.
I really like to fix this login i am facing. I need your help for this
I would seek help of @Brandon_Hein Can you please help. setEncryptedText is not working with Ahmed application and it is throwing error. I canât seem to find any solution here.
Hi Manpreet, Just to let you know that I did NOT receive any thing from Brandon yet.
The encrypted password now is the only problem I am facing now. I really appreciate if you can help me on this issue.
I modifies my test case to read data from excel data file successfully
Please post the following information:
1.) The test code leading up to the failure when trying to login with the encrypted password (Script view, not Manual view).
2.) The full error log.
Thanks a lot Brandon.

====================
and here is the screenshot
Can you try using sendKeys() instead of setText()? So instead of:
WebUI.setText(findTestObject(âObject Repository/folder01/input_Welcome_searchâ), âapaconsâ)
Try:
WebUI.sendKeys(findTestObject(âObject Repository/folder01/input_Welcome_searchâ), âapaconsâ)
Looking at the error message in the log view (not in the console), it looks like the xpath you are using isnât finding any elements in the DOM:
//input[@id='search-landing']
Can you give a screenshot of the HTML element you are trying to send keys to?
Brandon,
the first step in my test is to login using the following form
if the login successes then it will go to another form to enter the test apacons which display the ID
My problem is the login always fails so the following step fails due to the statement
WebUI.setEncryptedText(findTestObject(âObject Repository/folder01/input_Password_passwordâ), âvhY2RXFFBgI=â)
According to your log viewer though, the setEncryptedText() step passed without an issue:
Which means that, as far as the script is concerned, this text was entered. What happens in real-time when you run the script? Does the password field remain blank? Does some value get entered, but you still get the âAuthentication Errorâ message?
You are absolutely right. But the login failed, which means either user name is wrong, or password is wrong or both of them are wrong.
if I use the following statement:
WebUI.setText(findTestObject(âfolder01/input_Password_passwordâ), â158503â)
Instead of
WebUI.setEncryptedText(findTestObject(âObject Repository/folder01/input_Password_passwordâ), âvhY2RXFFBgI=â)
this is shown before to Manpreet
Yep I saw that, but again, what happens in the Password field in real-time when you run the script? An easy way to test this is to put a breakpoint at the line of code that clicks the login button:
Then run your script in Debug mode so that it pauses before trying to actually login.
Is the password field blank? Is a value entered into the field? If there is a value, and if you manually click âSign Inâ, does it work?
While the recording time, I enter my user and password and it goes successfully without any problem so I assume during the run time (replay it) Katalon uses whatever entered during the recording.
Why the login failed during the run time but not failed during the recording time.
How to add breakpoint at the line of code that click the login button?
This is a dangerous assumption. Record and playback is, and always has been, very very flaky.
Double click in the vertical blue bar for the line of code I pointed out in the above screenshot. Debug mode is extremely useful for isolating issues like this. Please give this article a read:
